Summary: Pasture and soil degradation in Brazil are the main constraints in conventional systems to animal and grain production. Soil quality in terms of carbon content in these soils is a useful tool to estimate sustainable production. In this study is presented results of 7 years of integrated crop-livestock and crop-livestock-forest systems on soil carbon contents in a clayed Oxisol of the Brazilian Cerrado.
